B2B e-catalog solutions helping to solve
Supporting punch-out requirements
Many of your organization’s customers now no longer wish to house your product data and content in their systems. The overheads to maintain it are heavy and many of your customers are looking to be able to punch-out (punch-in from your perspective) into your catalog to order what they need.
B2B sales channels
In today’s world more and more sales, including B2B sales, are done using supplier online catalogs. To be able to support this, and provide new sales channels, having a B2B e-catalog is becoming more relevant and necessary to maintain your customers.
Sales order integration
Offering a B2B e-catalog means your organization would be able to leverage further integration of sales orders it produces, or if it supports the reverse purchase order functionality the sales orders your customers produce from the B2B e-catalog as EDI documents. Meaning integration and less manual documents.
Reaching new markets
Not having an e-catalog or B2B solution in this day and age means your organization is potentially not able to leverage from the changes in business practices and making it harder to potentially reach new markets or opportunities. Contractually many buyers now require you to provide a B2B e-catalog and punch-in capabilities.
